-> Take it from an "Old Fart " with 50 years gardening experience, Throw that -> Mirical Grow as far as you can throw it. as least as far a veggies are -> concerned. x Umm, well, it's spelled "Miracle Gro", and it's always worked fantastically well for me. I mean, really dramatically well, like in the size-comparison ads. x Not that there's anything wrong with manure tea, of course; it works great, but for me as a city gardener with a disabling illness and a picky landlady, both of whom (which?) mandate a lot of caution about germy organic matter, it would never do. So you do it your way and I'll do it mine, and we'll both have plenty of peppers. :) x Keep on rockin', Rain, an old fartess with 45 years' gardening experience @@@@ \\\\\
